The W3C WebDriver API is a platform and language-neutral interface and wire protocol allowing programs or scripts to control the behavior of a web browser, like Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

In the previous article, we have seen launching Firefox browser with Gecko driver using Selenium 3. Now let us try to launch Microsoft Edge browse using Selenium 3. Before proceeding, to start using Webdriver with Microsoft Edge browser, make sure you have Windows 10 on your machine and download the specified Microsoft WebDriver server version for your build. You have choices when it comes to choosing Microsoft Office for Mac. You can either select Office 365 Mac, which is a cloud-based subscription service with many collaborative features, or Mac Office 2019, which is a one-time purchase geared more towards personal and small businesses use. WebDriver is an open source tool for automated testing of webapps across many browsers. It provides capabilities for navigating to web pages, user input, JavaScript execution, and more. ChromeDriver is a standalone server that implements the W3C WebDriver standard. ChromeDriver is available for Chrome on Android and Chrome on Desktop (Mac, Linux. WebDriver is an open source tool for automated testing of webapps across many browsers. It provides capabilities for navigating to web pages, user input, JavaScript execution, and more. ChromeDriver is a standalone server that implements the W3C WebDriver standard. ChromeDriver is available for Chrome on Android and Chrome on Desktop (Mac, Linux, Windows and ChromeOS).

WebDriver enables developers to create automated tests that simulate user interaction. This is different from JavaScript unit tests because WebDriver has access to functionality and information that JavaScript running in the browser doesn't, and it can more accurately simulate user events or OS-level events. WebDriver can also manage testing across multiple windows, tabs and webpages in a single test session.

Here's how to get started with WebDriver for Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

Install Microsoft Edge (Chromium)

If you haven't already, install Microsoft Edge (Chromium) from this page. If you are using a pre-installed version of Microsoft Edge on your machine, verify that you have Microsoft Edge (Chromium) and not Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML). A quick way to check is to load edge://settings/help in the browser and confirm that the version number is 75 or higher.

Download Microsoft Edge Driver

1. In order to create scripts that interact with the Selenium Server (Remote WebDriver) or create local Selenium WebDriver scripts, you need to make use of language-specific client drivers. While language bindings for other languages exist, these are the core ones that are supported by the main project hosted on GitHub.
2. For Microsoft Edge (Chromium), WebDriver needs the appropriate Microsoft Edge Driver for the build of Microsoft Edge you want to test or automate. To find your correct build number: Launch Microsoft Edge and navigate to edge://settings/help or click. Settings About Microsoft Edge, to view the Chromium version.

WebDriver needs a browser-specific driver to automate each browser. For Microsoft Edge (Chromium), WebDriver needs the appropriate Microsoft Edge Driver for the build of Microsoft Edge you want to test or automate.

Install Selenium Edge Web Driver for latest Edge browser. Prerequisites: For Edge browser version 44, you don’t need to download and copy the web driver to your desired directory manually, the below steps will help you to install the web driver. Microsoft WebDriver is now a Windows Feature on Demand.

To find your correct build number: Launch Microsoft Edge and navigate to edge://settings/help or click .. > Settings > About Microsoft Edge, to view the Chromium version. Having the correct version of WebDriver for your build ensures it runs correctly.

Now, download the matching version of Microsoft Edge Driver from this page.

Note

Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) does not work with Microsoft Edge Driver. To automate Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML), you will need to download Microsoft WebDriver for Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML).

Download a WebDriver language binding

The last component you need to download is a language-specific client driver. The language binding will translate the code you write in Python, Java, C#, Ruby, and JavaScript into commands that the Microsoft Edge Driver you downloaded in the previous section can run in Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

Download the WebDriver language binding of your choice. We highly recommend Selenium 4.00-alpha04 or later since this version has built-in support for Microsoft Edge (Chromium). However, you are able to drive Microsoft Edge (Chromium) in all earlier versions of Selenium, including the current stable Selenium 3 release.

Microsoft Webdriver For Mac Windows 7

Selenium 4.00-alpha04 and later

You can install the .NET language binding of Selenium 4.00-alpha04 here.

Using this binding, the C# snippet below constructs the EdgeOptions object by setting is_legacy to false, which tells WebDriver to start Microsoft Edge (Chromium) and not Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML). Then, it sets BinaryLocation in EdgeOptions to the install location of Microsoft Edge (Chromium). Lastly, it creates an EdgeDriverService, again with is_legacy set to false, before creating a new EdgeDriver by passing it the EdgeDriverService and EdgeOptions.

Note

When constructing the EdgeOptions object, if you don't pass it false, by default is_legacy is set to true. This ensures that all your current Microsoft Edge Driver tests will run without modification against Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML). You must set is_legacy to false and use the correct driver for your test to run successfully in Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

Caution

You must manually create EdgeDriverService as shown in the C# snippet above. If you let EdgeDriver create a service for you, it will create a Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) service and not the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) service that you need to automate or test Microsoft Edge (Chromium).

Selenium 4.00-alpha03 and earlier

If you have downloaded a Selenium language binding that is v4.00-alpha03 or earlier, follow the steps below to drive Microsoft Edge (Chromium):

1. Create an EdgeDriverService that points to msedgedriver.exe which you downloaded in the Download Microsoft Edge Driver section.
2. Start the service manually.
3. Create a DesiredCapabilites object to configure the Microsoft Edge Driver session. To launch Microsoft Edge (Chromium), you must create an ms:edgeOptions object with a binary property that points to the installed location of Microsoft Edge (Chromium).
4. Create a RemoteWebDriver that connects to the EdgeDriverService using the DesiredCapabilities object.
5. When your test or automation is done and you've called driver.Close(), shut down the EdgeDriverService manually with service.Dispose().

The C# snippet below, by following these steps, launches Microsoft Edge (Chromium), navigates to https://bing.com, and then waits 2 seconds for the page to load before closing the RemoteWebDriver instance and shutting down the EdgeDriverService.

Important

If you were previously automating or testing Microsoft Edge (Chromium) by using ChromeDriver and ChromeOptions, your WebDriver code will not run successfully against Microsoft Edge 80 or later. This is a breaking change and Microsoft Edge (Chromium) no longer accepts these commands. You must change your tests to use EdgeOptions and Microsoft Edge Driver.

Other ways to set up WebDriver

Chocolatey

If you are using Chocolatey as your package manager, you can also get Microsoft Edge Driver by running this command:

Here's how to get started with WebDriver for Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML).

The Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) implementation of WebDriver supports both the W3C WebDriver specification and the JSON Wire Protocol for backwards compatibility with existing tests.

Getting started with WebDriver for Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML)

• Install Windows 10.
• Download the appropriate Microsoft WebDriver server for your build of Windows and Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML).
• Download the WebDriver language binding of your choice. All Selenium language bindings support Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML).

Note

You can find help, report issues, and file feature requests at Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML) Feedback & Support.

Using WebDriver

To get started using WebDriver with Microsoft Edge (EdgeHTML), check out these samples:

• C# code sample for opening a browser window, navigating to bing.com and searching for 'webdriver' (GitHub Gist).
